Is the PC version getting the short end of the stick?

First off, if this is already under discussion in another thread my apologies. Please lock this and redirect as necessary.

I've noticed that since the PC version was confirmed there have been no details relating to it's source code. TN mentioned that they would talking about the Steam version "soon" a few weeks ago but there's been no word as of yet. The fact that they need to talk about it specifically at all is already a red flag considering it's already established that the online would be patched in within 3 months. Another red flag was that the trailer on the steam page is actually the trailer for Ultimate with a Last Round logo replacement at the end.

Now I fear it's previous gen source code could be all but confirmed. On the official LR website I've noticed that all the new features, such as the hairstyles and the new stages state that they are included in the PS4/Xbox One versions only. If this is the case I'd be really disappointed that they would take this route considering the PC holds the potential to run LR without a hitch and without needing a monster rig when you consider the common graphical options provided to players. As a hardcore DOA player since the Saturn/PS1 days I've always supported the series and pre-ordered both the Steam and PS4 versions. I'm sure I'll still love the gameplay but am now left wondering if I'll regret pre-ordering both as I'm left with an inferior version to collect digital dust.

I'm worried as well, they still owe us a clear response:(
I'd really like to insta-preorder on steam but i just cant buy something that has no info about... and THIS, THIS is annoying me so much http://teamninja-studio.com/doa5/lastround/us/productInfo.html

I hadn't seen that link. It's not helping matters for sure. If this pans out for the worst I guess I can find solice in the fact that I paid less than half price for the PC version during a pre-release sale

While I'm not planning to get back into this game anytime soon, I had planned to pick it up when there was a good steam sale. Of course I was expecting it to be a current gen port at the time. If it ends up being last gen, then I'm not gonna bother picking it up. There's no excuse for it not to be. So yeah, hoping they don't pull a DW8 here.

After reading that it seems there is quite of bit of content being withheld from last gen.

I didn't think it would be this bad.

Locking this. There has been no info and we're not going to continue the paranoia from Steam here.
